Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife by Sixteenth Child

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 231

Meredith stared at this stern face, dumbfounded. “Jeremy, what did you say?”

“Why don’t you leave?” He had lowered his tone, sounding as if he still had feelings for Meredith.

Meredith was so angry that she gritted her teeth. When she saw Madeline with her lips curled into a smile as Jeremy protected her behind his back, she felt furious.

Just when Madeline thought that Meredith would explode from anger, Meredith instead seemed to have turned into a different person all of a sudden. She let go of her fist and her anger disappeared. Then, she approached Jeremy and spoke slowly…

“Jeremy.”

Meredith’s eyes were red as she looked sadly at the man before her who maintained his cold expression.

“I know I did something wrong and that has disappointed you, but I didn’t betray my conscience. Everything I’ve done is for Jack and you. I’ve never hurt innocent people.”

While she was speaking, she teared up as well. Her pitiful appearance was really well performed.

“Jeremy, I know it’s useless for me to say anything now, but I am innocent. I’ll keep waiting until you believe me.”

Without waiting for Jeremy’s response, Meredith turned away and walked out of the house looking lonely.

Through the window, Madeline could clearly see Meredith standing right in front of the gate. She was soaked in the rain, but she had a stubborn and resolute expression on her face.

History was truly so shockingly similar.

Madeline thought of her previous experience of having been wrongly accused by Meredith. After she had come out of prison, she was locked outside of the door by Jeremy. Her pregnant self had knelt on the ground under the rain with much difficulty while waiting for his trust. Yet, after all of it, it was only a heart-shattering ending that she got in return for her wait.

Madeline swept her indifferent gaze over Meredith and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Jeremy looking at Meredith who was outside through the window with a solemn expression.

‘Jeremy, does your heart still ache for her?

‘After all, she’s the love of your life who you cared about for so many years.’

Within a few seconds, however, Jeremy turned his gaze away and suddenly reached out to hold Madeline’s injured hand to stop it from being stabbed further by the glass shards. After wiping it with alcohol cotton pads, he then carefully put a band-aid on her as well.

“Let’s continue our dinner.” He curled the corner of his lips, but it did not turn into a smile. It was merely just a movement of his facial muscles.

He was starting to feel sorry for Meredith, as expected.

“I think it’s better to forget it.” Madeline refused with a smile. “If I remain here still, I’m afraid my life in Glendale will be even more difficult afterward.”

“I’m here. No one will dare to do anything to you.” Jeremy made such a guarantee to Madeline with almost no hesitation.

Madeline looked at him with a surprised expression on her face, but her heart was filled entirely with ridicule and irony.

‘Jeremy Whitman, during the time when I was married to you as your wife…

‘Have you ever treated me so protectively like this?

‘You and Meredith both brutally hurt me again and again.

‘Yet, what are you telling me now? That you’re here for me?

‘Was it not entirely because of you that I was tortured till I was all bloody back then?’

Outside, Meredith was drenched in the rain and was really considering going all out.

She could not think of any other methods at present and so, she could only use this bitter trick.

She now hoped that the rain would get worse, drenching her till she caught a cold that would then make her faint. That way, she could definitely attract Jeremy’s attention.

She still had her trump card in hand, after all.

Jeremy did not let Madeline go but still kept her for dinner.

Since Madeline was sitting at the dining table, she could see Meredith standing at the same spot in the rain from where she was. Meredith remained stationary, and the scene truly looked pitiful.

Yet, Madeline knew in her heart that this was simply Meredith’s bitter trick.

‘With a decade’s fate now taking its turn, Meredith, you will also have to face the same fate today.

‘Have you tasted what it’s like to be wrongly accused?

‘Does it feel good?’

Madeline curled her lips secretly and finished the contents in the wine glass in one sip, feeling very satisfied.

“Miss Vera, it seems that you can take your alcohol.” Jeremy praised.

Madeline smiled and replied, “Yes, even Felipe is no opponent to me.”

“Is that so?” Jeremy smiled, but he could not help but compare her to Madeline in his heart.

In his memory, Madeline did not know how to drink.

That one time she drank alcohol, she had gotten so drunk that she hugged him while being muddled, then saying such sweet lovey-dovey words.

Thinking about it now, those lovey-dovey words were really beautiful.

However, it was now an unattainable memory.

“Miss Vera, can we be friends from today onward?”

“As long as you no longer regard me as your ex-wife Madeline, we can be friends.”

“Don’t worry, there won’t be a next time.”

Jeremy locked eyes with Madeline’s beautiful ones with guarantee. He then raised his wine glass.

“This is to apologize for the one who slapped you earlier,” Jeremy said before proceeding to finish the red wine in the glass. He then poured another glass. “This is to celebrate my acquaintance with such an excellent woman like Miss Vera.”

He spoke while he drank several glasses one after another.

The night became darker and darker. The rain had gradually weakened as well while Jeremy was done drinking the whole bottle of red wine.

His originally fair face was now flushed with slight tipsy redness, and his long, narrow, and alluring eyes were dazed from the alcohol’s effect.

“The future Mrs. Whitman, let me send you back.” Jeremy stood up, but obviously, he was already drunk.

“Mr. Whitman, you should rest. I’ll have Felipe come pick me up.”

“Him?” Jeremy laughed with a low voice. His low magnetic voice was filled with a kind of sexy charm.

He smiled and looked at Madeline. The halo of the crystal lamp had blurred his vision at the moment, and the face in front of him was the face of his dreams.

“I’ll send you off.” Jeremy insisted as he got up and walked toward Madeline.

However, his footsteps were feeble. His upright body was swaying and he was about to fall down before he reached Madeline.

Madeline did not want to bother at first, but as she thought of Meredith who was outside the window, she simply stretched out her hand to support Jeremy.

The weight of his body was pressed completely onto her own and Madeline confirmed then that he was really drunk.

“Mr. Whitman, let’s sit here for a while.” Madeline struggled to help him onto the sofa.

She also knew that the brighter the lights inside the house, the more clearly Meredith could see from the outside.

Right now, Meredith was probably about to burst from anger.

“Mr. Whitman, you’re drunk. I’ll help you to make a glass of lemon water to sober you up.”

Madeline pulled her hand back as she spoke, but as soon as she turned around, her wrist was clasped tightly by Jeremy.

“Don’t go,” he muttered to stop her.

Madeline turned her head and saw the man half-lying on the sofa. His gaze was slightly drunk and his cheeks were flushed. His thin lips were whispering softly, “Linnie…” Madeline heard Jeremy uttering out this name a few seconds later.

She stared at the drunken man blankly.

“Linnie, don’t go. Don’t leave me anymore…”

Linnie.

Madeline tightened her pink lips, knowing that Meredith was the one that Jeremy was calling for.

From the moment Meredith had snatched her identity as Miss Montgomery, Meredith also obtained another name—Eveline Montgomery.

She looked at Jeremy and sneered.

“Sure enough, you still can’t forget that villainous Meredith. It seems that the cancelation of your marriage contract to her is just a cover? How could you, Mr. Whitman, possibly be willing to let her go?”

Madeline mocked the drunk man and had wanted to withdraw her hand, but instead of letting go, Jeremy pulled the unguarded Madeline into his arms forcefully.

Crashing suddenly into his generous embrace, Madeline’s nose could pick up the familiar cold fragrance.

She suddenly raised her head, and her slightly disoriented gaze met Jeremy’s dark and misty eyes.

He narrowed his slender and alluring eyes, his slightly drunk gaze seemingly like a bottomless pool—mysterious and attractive, but also appearing to be as gentle as water.

However, looking at him like this, Madeline’s gaze was full of sharp edges.

“Jeremy, look at me clearly. I’m not the Linnie you’re asking for. I’m the ex-wife you hated and wanted to kill the most!”

She tensed her pink lips tightly and glared at this handsome face with hatred.

“Jeremy, I’ll take back what you owe me along with the interest accumulated. I want you to understand what it’s like to be manipulated and hurt by your beloved one!”

As soon as Madeline said this, Jeremy unexpectedly stretched out his arms and circled her tightly into his embrace.

“Linnie…” His deep voice bloomed in her ears with heat.

Madeline was stunned for a bit until she felt Jeremy’s lips pressing against her cheeks. She then finally came back to her senses and tried to struggle away from him.

“Jeremy, let me go!”

“I won’t let go. I won’t ever let you go again, Linnie…”

“I’m not your Linnie, Jeremy. Let go.”

Madeline pushed him away angrily, but Jeremy did not let her go no matter what.

Amidst their pushing and pulling, Madeline suddenly heard the sound of something dropping. It seemed that something had fallen out of Jeremy’s pocket.

She subconsciously looked at what it was, but after just a glimpse, she became completely stiff.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 233

Madeline could forget a lot of things in her life. She could forget the best moments of her life and the beautiful feeling she had when she was deeply in love with Jeremy, but she could never be unfamiliar with this thing in front of her for the rest of her life.

Dazed, she slowly reached out her hand to pick up the object that had fallen to the ground before placing it in her palm.

Looking at it, it was as if she could suddenly hear the sound of waves as well as the smell and the salty taste of the sea breeze. Even a boy’s gentle promise sounded in her ears, “Linnie, when I grow up, I’ll make you my bride…”

Yet, this promise was blown away by the breeze and ended up sinking to the bottom of the sea in the end. Things could never go back to that time again in this life…

“Linnie…”

Madeline stopped indulging in her walk down memory lane and looked toward Jeremy who was muttering.

He was still calling for Linnie.

However, the Linnie he was calling for was not her but Meredith—the vicious woman who he spoiled and loved without principles or limits.
